This vintage book describes the various different types of people one might find amongst a group of English fox hunters, from the boring member to he who has lost his nerve. Humorous and entertaining to read, this volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the history of English fox hunting, and would make for a fantastic addition to any sportsman's bookshelf. Contents include: "The Melancholy Man", "The Popular Woman", "The Man Who Blows his own Trumpet", "The Dangerous Woman", "The Sporting Horse Dealer", "The Man who goes First", "The Venerable Dandy", "The Farmer", "The 'Funk-Stick'", "The Good Samaritan", "The Hospitable Man", "The Jealous Woman", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. This volume is being republished now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fox hunting.
